1638228992754057216 | @myhlee @RobertAlanWard After Johnson's surprise visit to Ukraine, the world is no longer surprised by visits to Ukraine by foreign leaders. If not for this timing, there would have been no point for Kishida to go to Ukraine. Xi and Putin gave Kishida a big chance. Very good contrast. https://t.co/33xnwubJiL | 0 |

1638486512189710339 | @RobertAlanWard @_jamesmeek The rules-based order that led to the attacks on Iraq and Libya? Sanctions against Syria, Venezuela, Cuba? The end of the Iran nuclear deal? Nice order! | 0 |

1638496347212107778 | @Casperhafnia @darkleopard3 @RobertAlanWard @_jamesmeek the rules-based liberal order has proffered the bad guys a pretty good hand of whataboutism in that list, but "invade and despoil a sovereign nation for nationalist score-settling and natural resources" is hard to beat | 0 |
1638500343137853443 | @Kazanir @darkleopard3 @RobertAlanWard @_jamesmeek It’s not. Do you think American foreign policy and military use is moving in a better or worse direction? Same question about Russia. | 0 |
1638501823547080704 | @Casperhafnia @darkleopard3 @RobertAlanWard @_jamesmeek I think America has wielded our military might for evil in dozens of respects since the establishment of the postwar order, but nothing in that time comes really close to Russia's invasion of Ukraine for outright villainy. | 0 |

1638508003455270912 | @Casperhafnia @RobertAlanWard @_jamesmeek You misunderstand "whataboutism". The guy is extolling a "rules-based order" that is nothing of the kind. The reality is a country with overwhelming global military power acting as it chooses with no regard for rules. | 3 |
